How did you feel about what you read? Talk about how you think you can use what you learned.

What questions are you left with? Think about practical considerations for implementing changes.

There are not many questions in my mind, however there are a few concerns.
Even if I would recommend blogging as a learning tool for my students, I somewhat disagree with some of the research which says that blogging caters for critical thinking. I do believe that it can also create dependency on others for information and limit students skill of doing their own research and working independently in finding information for themselves.
